| Abstract | (Summary)
Changes in climate are exacerbating existing health inequities and creating conditions for new inequities to emerge. The health effects associated with climate change will not be
experienced uniformly. Vulnerability to health impacts of climate change is determined by the exposure to climate change hazards, the sensitivity to possible impacts, and the capacity to respond to, or cope with them. At the individual level, these
three factors are influenced by determinants of health, such as socio-economic status, housing quality, and education. Determinants of health interact and intersect with inequities in complex ways that render the experiences of diverse groups and
individuals unique. Structural systems of oppression, such as racism and colonialism, also influence an individual's vulnerability to climate-related health risks. Therefore, effective adaptation measures must be intersectional and equity-based. If
adaptation efforts are not carefully planned, adaptation efforts may benefit only part of the population, and inadvertently worsen existing inequities. Resilience and asset mapping, vulnerability mapping, equity impact assessments, and meaningful and
inclusive community engagement and communications can all contribute to equity-centred adaptation measures. |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
This chapter examines how important factors and trends at the individual, community, and health system levels can increase or decrease climate change
risks to health. |
